Ori Tang is a young, mischievous orangutan who wants to explore every inch of his rain forest home. There are many hidden dangers in the jungle, and Ori s misadventures cause endless worry for his parents, Teena and King Tang. One day Ori disappears. Did he fall from a tree? Perhaps he was bitten by a poisonous snake. Or maybe he was caught by a mysterious tiger! How are the Tangs ever going to find and rescue their child? The FRIENDIMALSTM Project is based on a concept of protecting our endangered animal friends through stories and songs. It is important to support and celebrate children s involvement in their environment, in human rights, and in intercultural issues. These issues are readily associated with understanding animal behavior. By learning to love and respect the animals, our children will love and respect each other.
